Spicy Szechwan Chicken With Spaghetti Squash
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 14 cup peanut oil
- 12 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch green onion
- 1 leek
- 12 teaspoon peeled and minced gingerroot
- 1 whole spaghetti squash, baked and shredded.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds and bake uncovered in the oven till the fibers are tender and separate easily.
- Cut chicken into half inch cubes and mix in 1 Tbsp soy and cornstarch in a bowl to marinate.
- Mix together and set aside the remaining soy sauce, sherry, sugar and vinegar.
- Heat oil in an uncovered wok at 375 degrees-- In practice I always cook this at as high a heat as possible.
- When hot, add the pepper flakes, stirring until black.
- Add the chicken and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove chicken with a strainer.
- Add green onion, leek and gingerroot; Stir fry for~1 minute.
- Add the chicken removed earlier to the vegetables and stir fry for another couple of minutes.
- Add the sherry/soy mixture-- (I like for the chicken to appear 95% done before I add the sauce since it will continue to cook for a couple minutes even after turning off the wok or pan) Bring sauce to a low boil for about a minute then remove to a serving dish.
- Serve with Rice or baked spaghetti squash.
